Hello All

I'm currently playing with Vaulters, and I see lots have been added to the game, which is great. 

In my current game, I am right next to the Cravers, and there are only two systems between my capital and the Craver's. So, there is no doubt that the war is coming, and it will come very soon. Since the Cravers get that stupidly op ship as their first quest. So, i want to wipe out the Cravers as soon as possible, which as a result, I went ahead to unlock some military techs first. and titanium shrapnel is one of those military techs that i want to unlock early. 

I just received a message that my research for titanium shrapnel is completed, but when I got into the ship design, I cannot see the titanium shrapnel anywhere, despite I have titanium on my capital world. What is going on?

Best 

looks like no one can answer this question...does the titanium shrapnel now has a ship requirement too?

Are you looking in the correct category? It's not a weapon, but a support module:

Don't know why you would ever want to use it in an early war though. Boarding and crew destruction stuff is all tier 3. 

Edit: double checked. You can't place it on small-Attacker or medium-Hunter even if those ships have support slots.

Interesting. maybe it is because i do not have large ship hull yet, and therefore the module does not show up. previously, before this update, i don't think there is a ship size restriction for this module. 

No, not size but ship type restriction. It can only go on support ships.

Is the effect cumulative? If you have 2+ ships with this module?

As far as I know, yes, but still it only works in 1 flotilla.

Yeah, that's what I meant, 2+ ships with it in the same flotilla.

Thematically, what the hell is this module doing?

It's shrapnel, so I'd wager it's merely blasting holes in the hull and sending shards of metal and other materials at extremely high velocities in random directions to cause as much damage as possible. There are bullets designed to do the same thing in existence today.
